Shredded Bark Mulch

Shredded bark mulch is a natural landscaping material made from the outer bark of trees, finely shredded to create a fibrous, lightweight texture. This mulch is prized for its ability to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth, making it an essential component for healthy garden beds and landscaped areas.

The shredded attribute allows the mulch to interlock and stay in place better than chunkier or nugget-style mulches, reducing the risk of washout during heavy rain. Its fibrous texture also breaks down gradually, enriching the soil with organic matter over time. Shredded bark mulch is commonly used in residential flower beds, around trees and shrubs, and in commercial landscapes for both its functional and decorative appeal. While it offers excellent weed control and moisture retention, it may need periodic replenishing as it decomposes naturally.
